About the Role

Ericsson is seeking an experienced ASIC Systems Debug Engineer to take ownership of challenging silicon and system-level failures, leading investigations across the full product lifecycle from ASIC bring-up and validation through manufacturing and field deployment.

Responsibilities

  • Lead complex ASIC and system investigations across multiple IP and system domains.
  • Develop structured strategies to reproduce, isolate, and characterize failures.
  • Investigate silicon quality escapes using production, repair, test, and field-return data.
  • Debug complex ASIC subsystems including DMA engines, interconnect fabrics, memory systems, on-chip interfaces, chiplet communication, and multi-IP interactions.
  • Convert technical findings into corrective actions, production-containment plans, and issue closure.
  • Identify gaps in test coverage, diagnostics, and diagnosability across various environments.
  • Improve defect-screening strategies and prevent recurring silicon escapes.
  • Translate debug and field-failure lessons into requirements for ASIC design-for-debug features, platform observability, firmware support, debug tools, and failure-isolation capabilities.
  • Create new tools, scripts, automation, techniques, and methodologies to accelerate system debug.
  • Help grow system-debug expertise across the organization.

Requirements

  • Demonstrated experience leading complex ASIC or SoC system-debug and root-cause investigations.
  • A disciplined approach to turning ambiguous symptoms into a structured debug plan.
  • Deep understanding of system architecture and hardware, firmware, and software interactions.
  • Experience debugging complex ASIC or SoC subsystems, including on-chip interfaces, interconnect fabrics, DMA, memory access, and multi-IP interactions.
  • Experience with high-speed and control interfaces such as DDR, Ethernet, CPRI, JESD, PCIe, I2C, I3C, and SerDes.
  • Hands-on silicon and system-level debug experience using lab equipment, hardware debug interfaces, trace capabilities, and low-level register access.
  • Experience analyzing production, test, and field data to identify failure patterns, correlations, and signatures.
  • Proficiency in scripting or programming for data analysis, debug automation, and engineering-tool development.
  • Working knowledge of silicon test and DFX concepts, including structural and functional test, scan, memory test, ATE, test coverage, diagnostics, and production screening.
  • Strong technical leadership and communication skills, with the ability to influence decisions and drive investigations across disciplines and organizations.
